things than I need. I draw the plans, design the houses and make them. I sell

A ffi¿.f 1 For two minutes, read and remember all you can about Pat's history of Lasso Lake. Compare in pairs.

Lasso Lake-Back Then and Now!

n
About twenty-five years ago, my hometown, Lasso Lake, was
a calm, clean little place. There wasn't a lot ofr-.;:.ffic downtown
and there were no stoplights. Today, it's a busy city and there
are lots of pedestrians, cars, stoplighcs and poliution.
Believe it or not, there was no supermarket in this area before
1990. There were only two small stores and one restaurant.
Now there are three big supermarkets, two international
restaurants, a lot of stores, and lots of people too!
There was also a movie theater next to the bank and a
theater opposite the park. Well, now there's a cinema cornplex
across from the bank, there's no theater anymore, and there's
a parking lot in the same place where rhe park was @.
But there are some good things! For example, there were no
secur"ity carneras in 1990 and now there are security cameras
everywhere.
And finally one of rhe most important changes: in '1990,
there was only a small bus station in Lasso Lake, now there's iH
rl_t
,
also a subway station O.
